But as Friday 17. For a day like this we would put the signature, Vincenzo Nibali. Why
the day of the longest stage of the Vuelta, and with a little luck, he built his big chance.
At the end of 231 km from Piedrahita to Toledo, the red jersey not only keeps looking in the rearview mirror all, but thanks to splitting the group in the final, he won another 12 seconds on the Spaniard Ezequiel Mosquera, second in the standings but now detached 50 "seconds.
A margin is not very wide but Nibali on which the company will try to win the first Grand Tour of his career climbing the terrible 2247 meters Bola del Mundo. Ben 22 km, with an average slope of 6% to 12% and the final three kilometers very hard with the concrete instead of asphalt. The blue will not make the mistake of following the steps of Mosquera's just go with his pace and keep the English in the viewfinder. Even counting the bonuses: the first 20 seconds, 12 second, 8 third. Bola del Mundo survived the means to bring home the Vuelta: and make the last leg, arriving in Cibeles Square in Madrid, a catwalk for a time to digest the Spaniards, used to win everything.
